One of the two persons injured when a portion of the Bardhaman Railway Station building in West Bengal collapsed died on Sunday, an official said.

A portion of the two-storeyed station building of Bardhaman collapsed on Saturday evening.

“One of the two injured persons who were taken to the Bardhaman Medical College and Hospital, succumbed to his injuries,” state minister Swapan Debnath said.

“The person who was critically injured died at the hospital at around 2.35 am,” Bardhaman Medical College and Hospital deputy super Dr Amitava Saha told PTI.

The identity of the deceased person has not been ascertained, Saha said.

According to officials, construction and repair work was underway at the century-old station building, nearly 100 km from Kolkata. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
